Chet Johnston is a 2021 SS/RHP/OF with a 6-1 160 lb. frame from Glen, NH who attends St. Paul's School. Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and long limbs, lean and projectable build with room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.30 60-yard dash. Primary middle infielder, fields the ball out front, developing actions but funnels into short and compact arm action, accurate across the diamond when on top of the ball, controls body well on move. Also pitched, medium arm circle through the back working to a three-quarters release point. Front side opens early prior to release but able to generate sink on fastball, up to 72 mph and worked down in zone. Flashed curveball at 62 mph. Righthanded hitter, begins with a slightly open stance with a medium hand set and high back elbow at the plate. Limited shift through lower half into contact, stays short to the ball and shows an easy swing path. Pulls hands back at start of swing, simple swing and able to repeat mechanics, projects with additional lower half. Very good student.
